Port Moody Station is served by five West Coast Express trains per day in each direction: five in the morning to Vancouver, and five in the evening to Mission. The station is also served by one "TrainBus" per day in each direction: one in the morning to Vancouver after all trains have departed, and one in the evening to Mission after all trains have departed. The station is adjacent to a bus loop and park-and-ride facility, which are served by the and local and express bus and Community Shuttle minibus services.
At the nearby intersection of St. John's and Williams Streets, 97 B-Line buses provide service to Coquitlam Central and Lougheed Town Centre Stations. In addition, from 2011, the Evergreen Light Rapid Transit line will stop at the intersection, providing a near connection to the West Coast Express. All services are operated by TransLink.
[edit] History
Port Moody was the original Pacific terminus of the CPR's transcontinental mainline from Montreal from 1886—before the railway was extended to Vancouver one year later in 1887 (1). The original railway station—or an early station, if not the original one—now functions as the Port Moody Museum, and is located a few hundred metres west of the West Coast Express station, on Murray Street near the north foot of Moody Street.
